About

Mariam is the seventh child in a family of eight. All of her brothers, unable to afford school fees, dropped out of school and eventually married. The modest income her father earns from fishing is only enough to provide basic necessities for the family and they have been unable to save money for Mariam's secondary school tuition. Despite the obstacles in her path, Mariam hopes to become a nurse. Mariam is now one of the students at Tsogolo Private Secondary School under H.E.L.P. Malawi's Scholarship program for the underprivileged children. "I realized that love brings hope back for those who lost it."

    I plan to grow up to be a Doctor, because I have seen many people have health problem. My happiest moment is when I was chosen to enter Form-1 after I completed primary level school. Not every child can enter Form-1, it is a privilege. I am so proud of myself. After I fulfill my Doctor dream, I will build a lot of hospitals. People can get medical services when they are sick. I plan to give back to the School Fund portion of my salary. Also I would like to join this organization to help other children to go to school and get educated.

    Harshita's father is a farmer and her mother a home-maker. She has four siblings; one brother, and three sisters. She used to attend a Private school in her village. However, when she passed her 5th class, the school closed down, compelling her to discontinue her education for a year. Harshita's parents also could not afford to enroll her to other schools as they are financially very weak. Now that she is part of Milaan's Swaachna Learning and Resource Center, Harshita is more than happy to study. She aspires to be an Officer in the Indian Army because she wants to do something for her nation and her family. She wants to make her parents proud of her.
